Sivan

[[Shavuot]], the Festival of Weeks, marks the day the [[Torah]] was given to the [[Israelites]] at [[Mount Sinai]]. [[First Fruits#Hebrew perspective|Bikkurim]] are given as offerings, as in this picture from [[Nahalal]], Israel in 2006. ''Sivan'' (, from Akkadian ''simānu'', meaning "season; time") is the ninth month of the civil year and the third month of the religious year on the Hebrew calendar. It is a month of 30 days. ''Sivan'' usually falls in May–June on the Gregorian calendar.

Along with all other current, post-biblical Jewish month names, Sivan was adopted during the Babylonian captivity. In the Babylonian calendar it was named Araḫ Simanu. Provided by Wikipedia
